Hello Ben :D I have 2 things to say. Firstly, this one ship is very nice. It has very consistent design (i mean that all ships parts fit to each other). Love slopes attached to each other, for me it seems like little waterfall (maybe due to all blue particles). Secondly, try to arrange monitor 2x1s and levers into some ornamental motives just to help ships design. It is one of my techniques. Secondly, I was thinking of some story for SBSY :D I imagined that SBSY could be guild of elite ship builders that is constantly flooded by orders from various factions figthing each other (Blacktron or Vekens for example). SBSY guys must decide who to support, and it could be tough choice because some of factions are too amoral to be supported but have too many money to be rejected. Some of them can be attacking SBSY building facilities in order to steal their secrets. You can make up some renegade character infiltrated in SBSY whose are selling its secrets to evil ones ... There can be a giant organisation that makes duels of smaller ships somewhat similiar to ancient gladiator duels when pilot who is defeated will be killed (you can choose how scary will be your storyline, this is just an idea). SBSY guys can make their own ships in order to explore ancient space cultures to gain more technology and they can be hostile to SBSY ...
If you find some of this idea to be fitting and you dont wanna somebody to steal it, feel free to delete this comment and let me know that you have readed it. Wishing all the best, Michal
